Step 16: Get Stoned

Step 17: Keep the Outdoors Outside

You are now ready to ensure that fewer pieces of sand and sea salt will end up making their way onto your clean floors!Happy summer fun times!

Picture this, you are having a backyard party at your beach house a day from now. You will have lots of sandy folks wanting to go in your freshly cleaned house. What will prevent this from happening? An outdoor shower of course!

But you:

a) don't want to spend a lot of money on a temporary set upb) want to try and offer a pleasant experience (aka, not a freezing one!)c) you want it to be a good party conversation starter

Well I have a fun / easy / inexpensive solution... A simple solar heated hose system with an up-cycled can as the shower head.

Step 2: Pull Tab

Remove the tab from the empty can that is to be transformed into the shower head.

Step 3: Mark It

Take the hose fitting without the valve and place the male threaded side down on top of the can, so that it's circumference lines up as best as possible with the drink hole in the can. Use the pen to trace the fitting outline onto the can top.

Step 4: Cut It Out

Using the box cutter, carefully shave away the metal until you end up with the traced circle cut out.

Step 5: Make it Holey

Using the tip of the box cutter, carefully puncture holes into the bottom of the can. Do this by lightly pressing the blade tip into the soft aluminum and then twisting the blade back and forth a little bit. Do an outer ring and an inner ring, like pictured.
